Summary

In the Linux kernel, nfsd4_ff_encode_getdeviceinfo() has an XDR padding calculation error. The da_addr_body reservation does not match the actual bytes written by xdr_encode_opaque(), causing stale reply-page content to leak to the client and misaligning the subsequent version list decode. This occurs on every flexfile GETDEVICEINFO reply.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to leaking sensitive kernel memory to the NFS client. It may also cause errors in decoding the version list on the client side.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that uses xdr_align_size() for each string length. Restrict access to NFS services to trusted networks.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: fix XDR padding calculation in ff_encode_getdeviceinfo nfsd4_ff_encode_getdeviceinfo() computes the da_addr_body reservation as 16 + netid_len + addr_len, but the subsequent xdr_encode_opaque() calls emit 8 + round_up(netid_len, 4) + round_up(addr_len, 4) bytes. The mismatch means the declared da_addr_body length exceeds the actual encoded data by 2-8 bytes on every flexfile GETDEVICEINFO reply, leaking stale reply-page content to the client and mis-aligning the subsequent version list decode. Use xdr_align_size() for each string length to match what xdr_encode_opaque() actually writes.
